Josh Smith's Great Chat Show

From his breakout role as the unforgettable Marc St. James in Ugly Betty, to starring alongside Harrison Ford in Shrinking, Michael Urie has spent the last two decades building an acclaimed career across TV, film and Broadway. Fresh from his run in London's West End in Oh, Mary! Michael is Josh's guest on this week's episode of Josh Smith's Great Chat Show.

In this chat with Josh, Michael looks back on the audition for Ugly Betty that changed his life (and almost didn't happen!) and tells Josh what it was really like working alongside Martha Stewart and Victoria Beckham. He shares why his friendship with Jessica Chastain has stood the test of time since they met at drama school and spills on the messages he receives (or doesn't!) from Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford. He also reflects on his younger struggles to feel accepted, which so many of us will relate to.

Plus he joins the group chat to answer your questions - including about the most niche job he's ever had. Plot spoiler: it involves a pig!

As Netflix's Heartstopper comes to an end, after three seasons and now a movie, Josh revisits two of the greatest chats he has ever had on the podcast, with Kit Connor and Joe Locke, the lead actors at the heart of it all.

Kit opens up about the phone call that changed everything, what it was like to film alongside Olivia Colman, and why he will never forget the fan who used his coming out scene to come out to their own parents. He also tells Josh why your sexuality belongs to you and nobody else.

Joe and Josh discuss male body image and how eating disorders on screen are almost always shown from a dark and scary lens, and why Heartstopper dared to do it differently. Joe also tells Josh why he thinks Gen Z's willingness to talk openly about their feelings is one of the most important shifts of his lifetime.

Together they are a reminder of everything this show set out to do and everything it delivered.

Gemma Chan has been acting for 20 years, and right now she is having the year of her life.

In this chat with Josh, Gemma talks about her karaoke night out with Jennifer Garner on the set of Five Star Weekend, and why the central theme of sisterhood hits close to home. She talks candidly about always putting a brave face on things, why asking for help doesn't come naturally, and the impact Crazy Rich Asians had on Asian actors in Hollywood.

Then there is Josephine. A film she has been attached to since 2019, which premiered at Sundance this year, and which is already generating early Oscar buzz. She talks about why she knew from the first page of the script she had to be part of it, and what it was like filming such raw and personal scenes alongside Channing Tatum.

Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the one everyone wants to know: will there ever be a Crazy Rich Asians sequel?!

She was a total nerd growing up, reading books about warrior cats and playing her DS. Now she's playing one of the most iconic characters in pop culture history. Lexi Minetree was handpicked by Reese Witherspoon from over 3,000 auditions to play Elle Woods in the new Legally Blonde series, and she has not looked back.

In this chat with Josh, Lexi opens up about the acting teacher who told her she wasn't the actor he thought she was, and how it almost broke her. She talks about the voice memos Reese sent her when she was doubting herself, and why she deliberately does things that terrify her.

She also tells Josh what it meant to work alongside James Van Der Beek in his final ever on-screen role, and why some of the throwbacks to 2001’s Legally Blonde - like using a payphone - stopped her in her tracks.

Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including how long it took to get ready as Elle every day and why her most dreaded small talk topic right now is her own show.

Watch Elle on Prime Video now!
